Oliver emailed me the other day asking me for help working on his next supercut. While normally I’d give him my standard speech about getting a job and how the bums lost, he recently put together that beautiful cut of Wolverine’s claw sounds replaced with slide whistles that I suggested, so now I owe him a favor. He wrote a special message for you below, but the long and short of it is, can you help suggest cinema’s greatest compliments? Weigh in in the comments.

Dear FilmDrunk Commenters,

For one to articulate admiration and respect for those around them is perhaps the finest of human expressions. This is why I am working on a completion of the “100 Greatest Movie Complements” (h/t Harry Harahan for the inspiration). Normally I avoid the sub-verbal caterwauling and banal grunting that takes place in the comments here, but for the sake of comprehension I am reaching out with an open hand to enlist your help.

With the overwhelming hate that permeates the Internet and much of Jew-run media/entertainment complex my goal is to focus on some of the actually nice things that that get said on the silver screen. To providing a voice of love in a conversation dominated by hisses of degradation and intolerance, not to mention “FIRST” and “gay.”

With this in mind please submit your favorite film flattery, it can be a compliment between friends (“You can be my wing man anytime”), lovers (“You make me want to be a better man”) or even one to oneself (“I’m good enough, I’m smart enough and dawg gone it people like me”).

“Amid the chaos of that day, when all I could hear was the thunder of gunshots, and all I could smell was the violence in the air, I look back and am amazed that my thoughts were so clear and true, that three words went through my mind endlessly, repeating themselves like a broken record: you’re so cool, you’re so cool, you’re so cool.” – Alabama Worley

Coop: When we first started hanging out together, this morning, we were just friends; but things change, and I’ve fallen in love with you. I just know that if you gave me a chance, I could make you feel so good. So I am coming, not as your buddy, and not as a co-counselor, but for the first time as a man – a man who loves a woman, and who wants to hold her and provide for her and, yes, have sex with her; but no, seriously, Katie, I love the way you laugh and I love the way your hair smells and I love it that sometimes for no reason you’re late for shul, and I don’t care that you’re bowlegged and I don’t care that you’re bilingual – all I know is that I would have said no to every single person on your list because I’ve always wanted you.

(with his old teacher)
“You haven’t changed a bit. I mean, you look great!”
“You’ve always been very good at saying that and not sounding like a kiss ass.”

“You’re a Psy-cho!”

(Martin, to the Mirror, among other things)
“You’re a handsome devil, what’s your name?”

“I don’t know, I guess. Listen, I’m gonna go. It’s been really nice talking to both you guys.
“Absolutely, the pleasure’s all on this side of the table, trust me.”
“Good luck with your layoffs, all right? I hope your firings go really, really well.”

“Boy that’s just a straight shooter with upper management written all over him”

“I have to remind myself that some birds aren’t meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice. But still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they’re gone. I guess I just miss my friend.”

Oh Lord, (Oh Lord,)
Ooh you are so big, (Ooh you are so big,)
So absolutely huge, (So absolutely huge,)
Gosh we’re all really impressed down here I can tell you, (Gosh we’re all really impressed down here I can tell you,)
Forgive us, Oh Lord, for this our dreadful toadying, (And barefaced flattery,)
But you’re so strong and well just so … super. (Fantastic.)
Amen.

“You give me confidence in myself. I know we’ve only known each other four weeks and three days, but to me it seems like nine weeks and five days. The first day seemed like a week and the second day seemed like five days and the third day seemed like a week again and the fourth day seemed like eight days and the fifth day you went to see your mother and that seemed just like a day and then you came back and later on the sixth day, in then evening, when we saw each other, that started seeming like two days, so in the evening it seemed like two days spilling over into the next day and that started seeming like four days, so at the end of the sixth day on into the seventh day, it seemed like a total of five days. And the sixth day seemed like a week and a half. I have it written down, but I can show it to you tomorrow if you want to see it. Anyway, I’ve decided that tomorrow, when the time is right, I’m going to ask you to marry me, if that’s okay with you. Just don’t say anything.”

“I had no choice. She bet me fifty dollars that she had a better body than you and I had to defend your honor.” — Major League

“It helped me see his asshole as not just a cum dumpster, but a sign of his beauty, his flower. It became a, uh, gorgeous orchid. Orchids grow in sort of the filthiest conditions. That’s what his asshole became to me. This beautiful flower amidst shit.” — Zack and Miri

“My God, Vanessa’s got a fabulous body. I bet she shags like a minx. How do I tell her that because of the unfreezing process I have no inner-monologue? I hope I didn’t say that out loud just now.” — Austin Powers

Lt. Dixon Piper: Why did he do it? Why did Cunth kill your wife?
MacGruber: To this day, I have no idea. We actually all went to college together. Believe it or not, we were very close friends. Then after graduation, he got engaged to her. He asked me to be his best man and right about that time, I started banging her and mowing her box. She was actually the first person I felt comfortable enough around to let eat out my butt. Anyway, shortly thereafter, she left him for me. She was actually carrying his child at the time. I asked her to terminate it, obviously, so we could start fresh. And she agreed. We were so in love. And he took that from me.
Lt. Dixon Piper: That’s really fucked up.
MacGruber: Thanks.

MacGruber: I will suck your dick, I will suck your fucking dick, just join my team. I’ll suck your dick, you can fuck me, you can get fucked by me. You can watch me fuck something. Just point at something in the room and I’ll fuck it for you! Just tell me what you want me to fuck!

“Good-looking people don’t have any spine. Their art never lasts. They get the girls, but we’re smarter.”

“You, Aaron, are what it’s all about. You’re real. Your room is real. Your friends are real. Real, man, real. You know? Real. You’re more important than all the silly machinery. Silly machinery. And you know it! In eleven years its going to be 1984, man. Think about that!”
“Wanna see me feed a mouse to my snake?”
“Yes.”

I might be the only person on the face of the earth that knows you’re the greatest woman on earth. I might be the only one who appreciates how amazing you are in every single thing that you do, and how you are with Spencer, “Spence,” and in every single thought that you have, and how you say what you mean, and how you almost always mean something that’s all about being straight and good. I think most people miss that about you, and I watch them, wondering how they can watch you bring their food, and clear their tables and never get that they just met the greatest woman alive. And the fact that I get it makes me feel good, about me.

“Well, no shit. What have we got here, a fucking comedian? Private Joker, I admire your honesty. Hell, I like you, you can come over to my house and fuck my sister!” — Gunnery Sergeant Hartman, from Full Metal Jacket

Napoleon Dynamite had two of most wonderful compliments I can think of.

Napoleon Dynamite: [referring to Deb’s milk] “I see you’re drinking 1%. Is that ’cause you think you’re fat? ‘Cause you’re not. You could be drinking whole if you wanted to.”

And then of course, there’s Kip’s wedding song at the very end, which contains this brilliant line.
Kip [in song]: “Yes, I love technology, but not as much as you, you see… But I still love technology… Always and forever.”[www.youtube.com] — starting at 0:34

From multiple Oscar winner True Lies:
‘Aww, but she could be so hot if she wanted to. She’s like all these babes, you get their pilot lit, they could suck start a leafblower. And she’s got the most incredible body too and a pair of titties that make you wanna stand up and beg for buttermilk. Ass like a ten year old boy! ‘

“I’m sorry about your loss. Your mother was a terribly attractive woman.”
“Look, I know I’m going to be the bad guy on this one, but I just want to say the last six days have been the best six days of probably my whole life.”

Narrator: Tyler, you are by far the most interesting single-serving friend I’ve ever met… see I have this thing: everything on a plane is single-serving…
Tyler Durden: Oh I get it, it’s very clever.
Narrator: Thank you.
Tyler Durden: How’s that working out for you?
Narrator: What?
Tyler Durden: Being clever.
Narrator: Great.
Tyler Durden: Keep it up then… Right up.

“She looks like she can take a dick. Some women pride themselves on their dick-taking abilities.”
“Dick-taking abilities? You think that’s good to say about someone?”
“The fucked-up thing is, I actually do. If a woman tried to compliment me on my dick-giving abilities, I’d be psyched.”
